Negation - Scratch #6, 30x40, Oil on wood panel. This painting is part of his new series based on the conceptual basis of others' preconceptions, expectations, opinions, and biases on one's identity. The graphic elements include exposed raw wood. Palladini's modern figure paintings breathe life with vibrant colors and flowing brush strokes. Unlike many portrait paintings, he minimizes the amount of detail and information allowing the viewer to gain intense suggestions of emotions in an instant. The simplicity is reminiscent of Alex Katz.
